Just spotted this update on Anthony Vanerlinden's website about the publication of the 3rd edition of FN Browning Pistols. Now, due to the size, a two volume set, expected end of this summer. I am really looking forward to this edition! "Update 3/13/2023: We are still on track to go to print-production in the summer of 2022. To state that the book project has blossomed would be an understatement. We faced the problem of manufacturing limits as the work had grown beyond what the binding machines could handle. So this will be our very first 2-volume set, with a page count around 850 pages. I had to reorganize and restructure the layout and flow of the book, the goal was to keep the volumes functional and the end result is looking promising for such a complex subject matter. So in a nutshell, we expect the book late summer. Please get on our notification list to benefit from our upcoming pre-publication offer. I thank you for your patience! Anthony Vanderlinden" Follow the link for more information on the publication and to get on the notification list. www.fnbrowning.com/book-fn-browning-pistols-3rd-editio

Latest from Anthony Vanderlinden on the availability of his 3rd edition, FN Browning Pistols. Still coming, but the latest news on publication is it has gotten pushed back for orders until sometime later this month with shipping in October.
"Update 5/30/2022: We are on track to go to print-production in the summer of 2022 but the massive shortages of U.S. paper is causing problems throughout the print industry. We did secure press time in September, about a month later than anticipated. I am grateful to have press time at all considering the extend of the problem. Production will be throughout the month of September, with shipping commencing in October. Our pre-publication sale was pushed back and will start in June.
Thank you for your patience as we deal with unconventional issues."

Will there be a digital version of the book? I dont think so. There is a warning on Vanderlinden's Wet Dog Publications page about fraudulent e-books. He states he does not publish e-books. Although, it would be nice if he did. "! Fraud Alert ! Beware of sellers selling this title as an e-book or pdf ! We do not produce any digital versions of our books. Those sellers operating from Russia and Germany are defrauding you and are breaking international copyright laws!"

My wife works in the printing industry and confirms that paper shortages are continuing. According to her sources, there is no end in sight.

Vanderlinden book.
Coupon code did not change the price, but I'm not gonna sweat $25.
Update 6/30/2022: I am glad to announce that the 3rd edition is completed and now in pre-press. Due to labor and massive U.S. paper shortages, we have secured press time in September, meaning that books will ship in late September or early October. The pre-publication sale is now open and will be limited to the first 300 customers. These customers will benefit from a $25 discount on the new edition. Orders will be shipped in the order they are received as we are dealing with labor shortages. Please note that this special price is only available for a short period and will not be offered again. This book will not be discounted or sold to discount book dealers. In order to receive the pre-publication discount please use coupon code FN25 at checkout!
Please see the updated information below with sample pages.
Thank you!

Thanks for the update Tim. I just ordered two sets. FYI, the discount code did not work for me either, but like you, not a big deal for such an important and useful book.

Hey Tim, I just shot them an email and thy are going to credit my account for the missing discount. Send your invoice or invoice number, they were quick to respond. Mr Vanderlinden said they will be working on order issues this weekend. Todd
